"Could my mother's death have anything to do with the experiment or my sister?"
Chu Shangli's face and hands left the glass.
"Why do you ask that?"
"Thinking back a little, what's this so-called coincidence? It's practically impossible to achieve such a coincidence. So, it must have been man-made."
Cheshire Cat chuckles——
"That's right. The so-called coincidence is also man-made—a coincidence created by humans. No matter how profound the fate, it still requires countless people to push it forward—no matter how ingenious the event, there must be someone pushing it forward—people who can be seen, people who can't be seen. And then, everyone, through this indoctrinated concept, constantly falls asleep and wakes up, until they can no longer accept anything new, and the cycle repeats itself. Over and over again."
"Could you please use words that people can understand? Or are you being so mysterious and actually using some kind of spell? Miss Chu Shangli was fine just now, but now her eyes have become creepy because of you——"
"No, it's not about transformation, but restoration. Miss Chu Shangli wasn't always that harmless and weak. She had that look in her eyes for a long time. I just reminded her of it."
"As expected, hypnosis is terrible. I should not have brought her to you—"
"By the way, Miss Chu Shangli, you definitely don't know when my mother died, right?"
"..." Chu Shangli said lightly: "I don't even know who your mother is..."
"Well, you don't know it yet. But what I can tell you now is that the Cheshire Cat became a Cheshire Cat on the day your mother, Chu Yutu, died. Before that day, the Cheshire Cat didn't exist. Maybe Chu Shangli and Chu Moyin didn't exist either—"
"Huh?"
"Because everyone around you told you that you were 15, you believed it without a doubt. Since everyone said that children don't remember things, even after a gap of nearly five years, you never had any doubts. Not only you, but almost everyone else didn't. This left room for reverse manipulation."
The Cheshire Cat raised three fingers, and then dropped them one by one——
"A normal person doesn't remember things from their childhood very clearly—and human memory isn't a very stable system—"
She slammed her fist down on the ground. The cat-shaped robot beside her meowed and slid aside hastily.
"It was me who just swung my hand and smashed it against the ground—"
"So what?" Ying Meng rolled her eyes. "You're not saying your hands are starting to hurt, are you, and you want Miss Chu Shangli and I to compensate you? It's because we didn't stop you from being silly?"
"No, if I fabricate a video of a robot vacuum cleaner and a kitten smashing into the ground—and the one raising their fist is you, Ying Meng—and Miss Chu Shangli and I keep telling you in a reassuring tone that you're the one who misremembered it, because we both saw it, and then play the video again, you'll definitely doubt your own memory, not the video or us—"
"How is that possible? Since it was you, the Cheshire Cat, who said that, my first reaction would definitely be that you were playing another prank. As for Miss Chu Shangli, my first reaction would probably be to wonder if she was hypnotized by you?"
"Well, what if this applies to everyone around you? If everyone tells you that you're mistaken, you'll definitely think—ah, yes, I was mistaken—"
"How could everyone remember it wrong? What kind of prank show is this?"
